PRETTY UGLY: UGLYDOLLS TOY & ANIMATION SHOW

THINGSText: Mlee

Now, Uglydolls have become a cult phenomenon with adult collectors and can be found anywhere from the windows of the Whitney Museum in Manhattan, Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A. to the shelves of Paul Smith in London.

What a wonderful love story with a happy ending, isn’t it?! You might need to pray for such lovely experience, but not for their first toy and animation show in Asia!

The ugly family is now visiting in Hong Kong! Fabrica Features Hong Kong has invited this design couple to showcase over a hundred handmade plush Uglydolls. A series of animation will also be shown, in which the Uglydolls characters act out their lovely yet humourous instincts.

You might start wonder… why they chose ugly doll to express their love. To David and Sun-Min, “Ugly” means unique, different and original and they think that “Ugly” is beautiful.

When you are in love with somebody, all things about him/her will become special and beautiful. After visit the Uglydolls Toy & Animation Show, you might not find they are “ugly” at all… because you might be caught in the “love trap” with them already.
